WINDOW DRESSING.
Tho Decoration of stores Consider

Tho Decoration of stores Considered
as ono of the Fine Arts.
The display of horse in one Of the
windows Of large dry goods store on f
street yesterday aud OF q beautiful repre-
sentatlon Of the National Capital In laces
and ruchlDgs in another equally as well
known on Seventh street, calls attention to
the fact that In some branches OF business,
window dressing has become fine art. 10
all the large cities, special attention is
paid to the decoration and adernment OF
stores and windows, for the express pur.
pose OF attracting trade, notably in the case
OF dry goods dealers In nearly all large
dry. goods stores the window-dressing ia
done by men who are employed for the
purpose and who devote their whole time
and energies to the production of unique
and attractive designs. As the main idea
OF all such displays is to attract customers
and to cell the goods, they are usually
made up from the materials sold In the
store, and 1t is just here that the value OF a
good window dresser Is OF importance, as 10
the artistic arrangement, draping and dis.
playing OF harmonious colors and appro.
pirate designs, will be seen the difference
between the work Of the bungler and that
OF an artist.
No pains are spared by those who do
this work to secure the best results, and at
the present day, in all the large cities OF
this country, walk through the mercan.
tile section reveals profusion of rich
materials for personal adornment which
were unknown and unthought OF few
years ago.
The expense attending the productions OF
such displays as the ones alluded to IN the
beginning OF this article is no small Item,
one such, representing a Christmas scene,
costing $1,000. How the stores make up
the extra expense thus incurred is of no
importance to the general public, but that
they do is evident from the fact that each
day and year sees an advance all along the
line-more men employed In decorating,
higher salaries paid to such men, greater
demand for them by business men and a
generally higher standard Of excellence in
window displays. LooKER-ON.

Magazine Of Imerican History, edited by
Mrs. Martha J.. Lamb, and owing all Its sue
cess TO her indefatigable industry and dis.
eliminating judgment, is by all odds the
best periodical of similar scope now pub.
lished In the United States. The October
number opens with an article by Mrs.
Lamb on "rhe Origin OF New York; which
lie illustrated and OF great interest. Other

Wm. L. King and john Montague, two
young white men, were in the dock this
morning at the Police Court charged with

prisoners got on his car in East Washington

getting them to pay their fares, and they
afterward assaulted him, and King and he
fell of the car together, and Montague
kicked him (vitness) on the bridge Of the

LITTLE SLAyEs.

The abuse of children in setting
needs some attention. The idea that
a child of 10 or II years Of age should
be required to do the work Of man
or woman is not the fair thing.
There are many instances where
children are required to work far be-
yond their strength, and in this way
are made prematurely old and their
health Is destroyed before they at
tain man or womanhood. This is all
wrong, and the REVIEW takes the
liberty to say to the good people who
are going about doing good and
noble deeds in their efforts to make
people better, to give the child slave
little attention. Statistics on the
subject under discussion show that
the abuses in the early work of
children Is quite alarming. The
statistics show that children four
and five years old are required to do
the duty that would he quite a sutfi
cient for n person Of three times the
age of the little slave. Then, In ad-
dition to this, these little workers do
not get the benefit of their work.
Many OF them 60 to their jobs poorly
and thinly clad and are required to
work in cold Kitchens and roofiess
wood-sheds. From time to time we
hear protests 60 up against the place
ing Of criminal labor against honest
work. The child labor question'is
for the generation to come quite as
important as the other. The REVIEW
is first, last and all the time for
the little children,

THE people of the United States
don't have to send out of the country
nowadays for anything. Just think
of it: In one district of California
80 1850 pounds of raisins were shipped
in 1884. The shipments from the
same region were over dozen times
greater in 1886, or 1,1O2,910 pounds;
and it is known that there was big
Jump over these figures in 1886, al
though the exact amount sent out
has not yet been made public. And
the improvements in quality has
been about as greatas In quantity.
Boxes of the best California and
Spanish raisins were placed side by
side at the Chicago citrus fair, and
it is said, were unable to tell
which was the Spanish fruit. Flor.
ida, In few years, will probably
render the United States independ-
ant of Europe for oranges; and Cali
Iornia promises TO do US similar
,ervice In raisins in the near future.

The situation of the republican
party in this territory is not by any
means all the republicans desire. 1t
is now certain that a few more de-
feats like those Of the past four years
will make the territory democratic.
There Is no doubt of the fact that
something must done, but what is
the best plan of action Is open for
discussion. The REVIEW feels that
it has earned the right to speak its
opinion, always with respect, and
with due consideration of the Opin-
ions of those who may differ from
it. 1t wears nObody's collar, and
certainly it wears nobody's muzzle.
It see ms to us we no longer have any
politics in this territory which are
not conducted from selfish stand-
point. Corporations have entirely
too much to say as to who shall be
nominated and who shall not be
nominated. They have in no case
permitted an honest difference of
opinion. Their rights are like every
bodies else. No more, no less. This
they should be made to understand
as far as the republican party is con.
cerned. Again, the party has had
no concerted plan of action. There
is no man who has the ability to plan,
or the strength to combine men to-
gether to carry out a plan, who will
be permitted to do SO. The republi-
can party In this territory needs
more than any other thing leader
one with no taint of the dirty, trad
ing, treacherods politicians. The
way things are moving it is simply
a grab game. Every fellow is fish,
ing for himself, and the devil for all,
and It looks like the devil was get.
ting us all. Again, the work of the
fspublican party in Washington ter.
ritOry is not effective because it is |
1t will now require the

WHY not elect a President OF the

years, and make him ineligible to be
his own successor? This Is not new
proposition, but we think the people

to be reading longwinded editorials
about the President making appoint

pose Of getting his second nomina-

1T is encouraging to note dispo-
sition on the part of congress to deal
summarily and effectively with the
Canadian fishery troubles. The self
ish and belligerent attitude Of the
Dominion government towards this
country has been borne with a pa
tience amounting almost to servility.
1t is high time the policy was
changed Tor one more in
keeping with the self re-
spect of great and powerful
nation. A policy vigorous as out
lined in the dispatches on the part
Uf the United States will soon bring
the Dominion government to its
senses, for Canada would be much
the greater loser from a suspension
of commercial intercourse between
the two countries. The bill now be-
fore congress should be promptly en-
acted into law.

INFORMATION from Salt Lake is
that the Mormons are worse ratified
by the passage of the Tucker-Ed-
munds bill than by any previous leg
islation. Hitherto they have been
able to evade or nullify every act Of
congress aimed at them, but the new
law is so radical and far reaching in
its operations and so tightly drawn
that they cannot discover any way
around, through, over or under 1t.

tion definitely settled whether Nor
monism was Il law unto and higher
